There are photographs you take because they’re beautiful.
And then there are photographs you take because one day, they’ll be the only way back to a moment.

The monitors. The waiting. His hand on her head. The room full of people and somehow, at the same time, just the two of them.

And then suddenly… there you are.

A brand new little person who wasn’t here a moment ago.

This is why birth photography is different for me. It isn’t about making everything look perfect. It’s about preserving what it actually felt like.

The chaos. The tenderness. The relief. The first looks. The first touch. Dad holding his baby when everything finally gets quiet.

Your baby’s birth only happens once. You deserve to remember more than the pieces your exhausted brain managed to hold onto.

Doing what everyone else in your industry is doing is easy. But at some point, you’re just another copycat in a sea of the same content.

For Christina’s newest listing at 344 Camelback, I didn’t want another basic walkthrough. Zillow can show you the rooms. 😂

I wanted to show the house AND Christina’s personality.

That’s what I want for my commercial clients. Stop copying what everyone else is doing. Build your own thing. Create a brand people recognize before they ever see your name.

Or better yet… let me do it for you. 😉

There’s something special about photographing the beginning. 🤍

I took these photos of Anna when she had just gotten into her new space and was preparing to open her doors. Everything was new. The room was coming together, the supplies were finding their places, and she was getting ready to welcome her first clients into something she had worked so hard to build.

I never shared these at the time, but looking back at them now makes me love them even more.

Brand photography isn’t always about capturing a business once it’s perfectly polished and established. Sometimes the most meaningful images are the ones that document the becoming. The first space. The first clients. The early days when you’re building something that only existed as an idea not that long ago.

These are the kinds of images that become part of your brand story. 🤍

And Anna, I’m so glad we documented this chapter.

Your content day shouldn’t just give you a handful of pretty pictures. It should give you content you can actually use.

These are a few of Christina’s images from this month’s content day, and while we were taking these, we were also creating reels, short-form video, educational content, personality pieces, and the little in-between moments that help people actually get to know her.

And this isn’t just for Realtors.

Whether you’re a hairstylist, attorney, doctor, small business owner, coach, contractor, or anything in between, we can create your photos and video content at the same time, intentionally planned around your business and what you need to market that month.

One day. One plan. A whole bank of content ready to work for your business.

Because showing up consistently online gets a whole lot easier when you’re not trying to figure out what to post every morning. 🤍

If your business needs fresh branding photos + content that actually sounds and feels like you, let’s plan your next content day.

🐓🍂 **FEATHERS & FALL FAMILY SESSIONS** 🍂🐓

Fall family pictures… **but with CHICKENS.**

Okay, I have been dying to share this one because I think these are going to be SO much fun.

This fall, I’m offering a limited number of family sessions at a beautiful private property where your family will get to **feed the chickens** while I capture all of the laughs, reactions, and sweet candid moments that happen along the way.

And don’t worry, we’re not *just* taking pictures with chickens. 😂 We’ll also take plenty of beautiful family portraits while we’re there.

I’ll provide all of the chicken treats, so you just need to bring your family and be ready to have some fun.

**$275**
🐓 15 professionally edited digital images
🐓 Interactive chicken feeding experience
🐓 Traditional family portraits
🐓 Immediate families only
🐓 Grandparents may be added for $50

**Available Sundays:**
September 20 & 27
October 18 & 25
November 1 & 8

Weekday evening sessions are also available upon request.

We’ll use whatever is looking beautiful around the property on the day of your session, but the one thing I can promise?

**There will be chickens. Lots of chickens. 😂🐓**

Only a few families will be booked each evening, so availability is limited.

**Booking is OPEN!** 🍂🐓🤎

Over the past few months, I've spent a lot of time asking myself what I wanted my maternity work to feel like.

The answer wasn't bigger props.
Or trendier dresses.
It was connection.

I wanted images that feel timeless.
Images that tell the story of motherhood instead of distracting from it.

Whether we're creating something relaxed and natural or bold and editorial, my goal is always the same.
To create photographs you'll still love decades from now.

Right now, your mom already knows the sound of your hiccups.
She talks to you when no one else is around.
She wonders who you'll look like.
She dreams about meeting you.

And whether she feels ready or not...
She already loves you more than words can explain.

These photographs are for the day you ask what life was like before you arrived.
The answer is simple.
You were loved long before we ever met you.
